W3C Webmention API

The W3C Webmention API is a specification for an API that notifies a URL when the user mentions it on their site. From the recipient's perspective, it's a way to request notifications when other sites mention their URL. This specification is a work in progress and may be updated, replaced, or rendered obsolete at any time.

Seventeen APIs have been added to the ProgrammableWeb directory in categories such as Marketing, Security, and Banking. Highlights today include the Google Cloud Jobs API, which is a machine learning driven API to help companies find the best applicants. Here's a rundown of the latest additions.

The W3C announced 3 APIs in various stages of development. The TV Control API and Webmentions API were released in development states while the Geolocation API has reached its second edition. Expanded location sources power the Geolocation API and the other APIs further propel the connected world.
